After a hundred years, Sleeping Beauty is waking up. At Effie’s junior Prom, everyone is gossiping about a new boy who looks like he stepped out of a Grimm’s fairy tale. Unlike her classmates, Effie can overlook the boy’s old-fashioned formality and even his shockingly white hair, but she cannot ignore his familiarity. Because she has seen him many times before—once upon a dream. In the middle of a dance, Effie faints, only to be awakened in a haunted forest by the boy from her dreams. But her happy ending is only the beginning of a nightmare. The further she’s dragged into the mysterious world of storybook castles and breathtaking magic, Effie finds herself at the root of an ancient feud and a cursed fate. And if she cannot break the spell before her eighteenth birthday, she’s doomed to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an enchanted sleep forever.

Secrets do not stay hidden for long. Have you ever had a secret that you would do anything to keep from your own family? Coming home from being at boarding school for an entire year is something Eva has dreamed about since her Dad sent her away; she missed her older brothers and none of them seemed to have changed much, but she has. Eva Thorn does not trust Saxon Redford, in fact she thinks he is the devil in disguise, but he might have all the answers she is looking for. However, he wants something from her that she might not be capable of giving and everything turns into a giant game of who can come out on top. Eva is immature and annoying at times, Saxon is demanding and rude all the time – who will win, but remember they aren’t the only ones hiding secrets.
